        DONALD W. MCDOUGALL.- Under the title of the McDougall Mercantile
      Company the subject of this review conducts and is the owner of a
      fine department store in the city of Munising, Alger county, and his
      establishment is recognized as the most important of its kind in this
      county, controlling a large and representative patronage. He is known
      as a reliable and enterprising business man and as a loyal and pro-
      gressive citizen, well exemplifying the sterling traits of the sturdy
      race from which he is descended as he is of Scottish ancestry.
        DONALD WILLIAM MCDOUGALL was born in Bruce county, province of
      Ontario, Canada, on the 29th of June, 1867, and is a son of HUGH
      and MARY (WALKER) MCDOUGALL, both of whom were likewise born in
      that province. The father died in 1900, at the age of sixty-four
      years, and the mother now resides at Munising. Michigan. Of the three
      children the subject of this sketch is the eldest: MATILDA is the
      wife of GEORGE M. EVANS, of Munising, Michigan; and ELLEN is the wife
      of DR. CHARLES C. STONE, of Romeo, this state. HUGH MCDOUGALL was a
      successful merchant at Allanford, Ontario, for nearly a quarter of a
      century, and was one of the honored and influential citizens of his
      community. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, of
      which his widow also is a member.
        DONALD W. MCDOUGALL is indebted to the public schools of his native
      county for his early educational discipline and as a boy he began to
      assist in the work of his father's store. Later he was employedas a
      clerk in a mercantile establishment at Owen Sound, Ontario, for a
      period of two years, at the expiration of which he removed to Eddy's
      Mills, Ontario, where he was engaged in the general merchandise busi-
      ness from 1890 until 1896, in which latter year he removed to the
      Upper Peninsula of Michigan and established his home at Munising,
      where he erected the first stone business block and where he estab-
      lished himself in the general merchandise business under the firm
      name of McDougall, Smith & Company. His associates were S. M. SMITH,
      G. M. SMITH, H. SMITH, and this alliance continued until 1901, when
      he purchased his partners' interest in the enterprise, which he has
      since successfully conducted under the title of the McDougall Mercan-
      tile Company. In the large and well equipped establishment are
      handled the following lines of dry-goods, groceries and boots and
      shoes, and a meat market is also conducted in connection with the
      enterprise. MR. MCDOUGALL is recognized as the leading merchant of
      his city and his genial personality and sterling integrity have given
      him a secure hold upon the confidence and esteem of the community.
      He is at the present time president of the local business men's
      organization and is president of the board of education. He is a
      stanch Republican in his political proclivities and both he and his
      wife hold membership in the Presbyterian church.
         On the 15th of February, 1893, was solemnized the marriage of
      MR. MCDOUGALL to MISS REBECCAH LOGAN, who was born at Owen Sound,
      province of Ontario, and who is a daughter of JAMES and LUCINDA
      LOGAN, both of whom are now deceased. MR. and MRS. MCDOUGALL have
      three children,- GLADYS, RUSSELL and HUGH.
